The requirement of a full blown registration at Novell is an entry barrier for
many people who JustWantToReportABug(TM). The registration form demands
INSANE amount of personal information (street address, phone), and there is
no link to the privacy policy on the registration form. The validation code
arrives with a lag of many hours. Considering all this, I believe that
relocating the bugtracker away from Novell would substabtially improve bug
reporting feedback.
